The CHIJMES complex is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a unique mix of history, food, and entertainment.

The site began as a convent and girls’ school (the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus), but now it’s a buzzing social hub with restaurants, bars, and event spaces.

The old chapel is now CHIJMES Hall, a sought-after venue for weddings and special occasions thanks to its grand interior and romantic atmosphere.

Dining options at CHIJMES are diverse: you’ll find everything from Japanese izakayas and Spanish tapas bars to Italian trattorias, wine bars, steakhouses, and modern website Asian bistros.

There’s also a lively nightlife scene, with alfresco bars and regular live music or sports screenings on big screens in the courtyard.

Apart from food and nightlife, CHIJMES hosts special events—art markets, jazz evenings, Christmas fairs, and cultural performances throughout the year.

To sum up, CHIJMES is perfect for romantic dinners, group hangouts, weddings, or simply soaking in Singapore’s history in beautiful surroundings.
